Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Yes the title has something to do with the movie with the same name. I just watched it, that's one. Second is that, like the boy in the movie exploring and finding out something, I was too. But not in a complicated way like doing maps, plans and other stuffs alike. Instead, looking for the main branches of certain drugstores.

Okay, this is for our thesis. I think I need not to elaborate things about it anymore. Moving on, I just want you to show how I dressed up while exploring the land of Metro Manila just to search for the main offices of the drugstores. Before that, when you know that you'll be in a very long trip, first things first travel light. Wear your most comfy clothes. And bring only those important things that you need inside your bag. Take note again: your bag must be not so heavy.

I hope I made some help and I inspired you guys with this. Then, after those long walks we needed to treat ourselves. Had some snack at J. Co Donuts and Coffee, an Indonesian retail food store specializing at donuts, froyos and coffee making a big buzz in the country.

I am Paulo and I'm such an explorer.

Flying Dutchman

I know most people know Flying Dutchman as the legendary ghost ship that can never make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever. Well, it's not just about that. It's also about one line of fashion from the Philippines which makes good looking clothes, bags and shoes. Take note: most of them are hand-made. So it's purely an art of a man with passion. Maybe, that's why the quality are so great. So to make you more familiar with Flying Dutchman here are some of their Holiday Collection for 2012:

 I have this Gaff and it is really an amazing student/blogger bag.

And this I think I REALLY WANT IT!!!

I think I ALSO WANT THIS BACKHAUL. It will look good on my ragged-ish looks..

Also, this desert boots TOPMAS. I WANT IT! I know I have so many likes and wants. :D

Oops! Scroll down...

Deserves an OMG

I was scrolling down my facebook and suddenly I saw this:

 

Well this deserves a big OMG! Nice one Topman Philippines 

So here's the deal: For example I saw this Topman Made desert boots which fortunately happened to be on-sale in a price of Php 1500. That means that may get-one should be anything lower than the price of Php 1500 but should also be on-sale. Like for example, I saw this hip looking burgundy colored chinos for only Php 1300 and on-sale. Then that's how it works. I hope that I could do this tomorrow or on weekend exactly how I typed here. Hahah.. Crossing my fingers now.

I know it's big deal for me. The heck, this is TOPMAN that's why! I love how they make their own collections. Very trendy; comfy, classy and more....

Once again...

I am PAULO and Go for TOPMAN!

Promising Laptop for Student Blogger

Before I was so mesmerized by HP Envy 4t but when I saw HP ENVY 6z, I had my second thoughts. Not because it's cheaper (well, that's one factor also) than HP Envy 4t which I also made a review about (click here) but because it's whole specifications. One is it runs faster compared to it. But, let us get to the part where in, why the title says "Promising Laptop for Student Blogger". Here's the deal, it's thin, portable, classy-looking, student-friendly, and it's ENVY. (and btw I think it has a pre-installed adobe and MS Office which is a very good thing)

Summary by HP

• Slim (.78"), light (starting at 4.53 lb.) AMD series with a display that’s larger than on the ENVY 4 with amazing battery life
• Operating system - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Processor - AMD Dual-Core A6-4455M Processor (2.6GHz/2.1GHz, 1MB L2 Cache) + HD 7500G Discrete-Class Graphics

I am PAULO and this is something to be envious about.

Baby it's cold outside

Okay just a very quick post. Yesterday was such a rainy day. And I had plans with my relatives. Again, I wanted a comfy attire but a ready one in case we got stranded since the rain has been pouring all day. So I just wore a basic tees, skinny pants and boots in case of the flood. And accessorized myself with SM Accessories. Oh, btw, they have nice sets of accessories which you can buy in a not so high price. Very affordable. :D

Tees (Armani Exchange), Bracelet (SM Accessories)

I am Paulo and that was a really quick post.

Herschel Supply Co.

Tired of carrying bags that most students have? Tired of those "bag ng bayan/bag of the whole community" (i mean every students' bag)? You still have time to switch. So I received an email from Herschel Supply Co., I dunno why? In return, I'll be making a blog post about it.

I don't have any Herschel bag yet but I know it is a good quality brand. Because, I've been visiting their store once in a while and I can see that they really make a good one. (And It's one of my to buy lists.) It's not only a good one, it's also hip (adj. fashionably current and in the know or cooler than cool). And, the styles that they have are the ones I love: rucksack, messenger, duffel and more. Here's their Fall 2012 collection you may check their Facebook page (Philippines/International):

 

 

If there would be anything about brand ambassador of Herschel Supply Co. I would love to join. haha... I really like this bag.

 I am PAULO and this is what you call THE BAG.

Philisophy of Giordano

Giordano once said...

"Giordano’s philosophy of “ World Without Strangers” transcends its origins and develops enduring trust and strong relationships with consumers across all borders and cultures.

The essence of Giordano is to provide relevant, essential and timeless fashion for all; and to develop apparel for everyone regardless of ethnicity, nationality or culture.

Giordano is a brand for everyone, everywhere."

I fully agree on this statement. Fashion is indeed something without borders or without limits. Fashion should be a world without strangers. Everyone has their own fashion. Everyone is entitled to wear what they want and to be who they really are. Meaning, Giordano's "World Without Strangers" is really a nice idea. It tells us that we can be anything. Races are just labels, we are all humans. And, Giordano made us feel that with their line of clothing.

So guys if you are into something awesome go grab yourself a Giordano outfit. And btw, they have cool denims and polo shirts.

I am Paulo and let us have a world without strangers.

Changing the game

This is a sudden blog post so it's short and simple. Sorry though, but I hope you'll ponder something. :D


So I've been into blogging since high school as far as I remembered. But it's not that updated like now. Good thing, that for the past few months, I've been well updated on my site. Then, this guy made me more psyched about blogging. So here's the reason:


"Blogging is about leaving a mark and making history.
Blogging is about being an individual and communicating universally.
Blogging is about making history that will be relevant someday in our society through social media
And with this, I believe it is time to change the game.
It is time to go beyond." - Bjorn Bedayo/Bjorn Manila




I am PAULO and this is how you do it.

2 Things

My birthday was May 23 but I just had my birthday celebration with my BOTANERDS. That's what we call our group of friends. Well the word BOTANERDS originated from our 1st year subject BOTANY. For freshmen taking up Pharmacy at UST, it's one of the hardest. Luckily, we made through it.

 I have to edit the pic so that my friend would be part of this. Are my photoshop skills good? hahaha

So together with EM and ARNI, we had our post birthday celebration at an eat-all-you-can resto. They have varieties of foods such us, Japanese, Korean and American. The resto is called SAMBOKOJIN (facebook). I can say that SAMBOKOJIN (website) has great foods and great place. Btw, they have a smokeless grill. Here are some photos from their store.

 

 

Since it's our birthday, they gave us this.

So now, let's talk about the other thing that's why I named the title two things:

 I'm calling this outfit of mine: LET MY LOVE CONSUME YOU

Singlet/Vest/Sando (H&M), Cardigan (Lee), Necklace (Cravemore)

I am PAULO and let me consume you.

Extra! Extra!

Watcha doing???

Hello there! Do you want to be an icon? Do you want to be an inspiration? Do you want to make a difference for your generation? Do you want to contribute something to the world? What are you still doing there reading this, go and move your muscles? hahaha.. Joke! keep reading so that you'll know what to do if you have these do-you-want's.

So, I got an email from SM Youth University saying that I am now part of their society. And got hyped with what they told me which is the hunt for the SM Youth University: Campus Icon SY 2012-2013. If you have what it takes to be someone who can be everybody's superATE or superKUYA (I mean a role model to all the young), then this is your time. It's time for you to stand out and show the world that you are special and worth it. Align with this, SM Youth will be making its own official LOOKBOOK account supporting the campaign for the Campus Icon Search.

 Again, let me share this video so that the blurred part of what I said would be cleared:

ALDOmazing!

June had been a rainy month. In that case, my school leather shoes is on the grave of giving up due to the drops of rain, an inch flood and some things related. Well, it's not that broken yet. But it's better to be ready so I bought a new school shoes. 

I know there are a lot of good leather school shoes, local or not. But with my likes, I want it to be trendy and classy. I want it not to be just an ordinary school shoes I want it to be like a shoes that I can wear in a ball or something else. Trendy and classy are not only the options that I'm into when choosing such. It has to be comfy also. ALDO is one brand that has what I'm pertaining to and with a bonus of good quality. What I like most is that once you put your feet inside, it's very soft. Btw, they do not only make leather shoes, they also make different styles of shoes and others like accessories.

 

 Oh! before I forget they are on SALE up to 50% off as far as I remembered.

I am PAULO and this is ALDOmazing!!!

Alter to Fit

I can not fathom the idea of wearing a shirt that is not a perfect fit for me. Then why I bought this? Basically, I asked my friend to buy me clothes from H&M. (This brand has been in stores making good quality clothes and products that promotes customer satisfaction.) So I browsed their website to check which one I should buy. So I chose a couple of clothes. Then send the link to her. The idea is like online shopping.

Maybe others find it not so good because the item that you might get is not the perfect size that you want. That's what happened to this one shirt that my friend bought for me. It appeared longer that we thought. I faced this problem as something to explore to.

This time, is the time for me to experiment more about my clothes. Do some cuttings, and stuffs alike. I got myself a sharp scissors. Cut the lower part for an inch and a half because as I said it's too long. After cutting it, I stretched the fabric to make a detail about the ends of it. What's the detail? The ends curled up. That's a good thing, I think. Then what to do about the part you cut. Again, explore, experiment. In this outfit, I made it as a bracelet.

 

HYPE and FAN me on my LOOKBOOK?

 

 

The photos appeared to be blurred. I dunno why... :((((((

I am PAULO and don't be afraid to experiment.
